Points To Take Into Consideration

If you are managing your complete data at ERPnext end only then follow below-mentioned steps:

1. Synchronize all attributes from ERPnext to Prestashop 
2. After that, sync all categories’ from ERPnext to Prestashop and Vice Versa
3. Now, you can synchronize all products from ERPnext to Prestashop. (If there is any product in Prestashop End with Same SKU as ERPnext then also there will be no duplicity.)

If you are managing your data at Prestashop end only then follow below-mentioned steps:

1. Synchronize all Categories from Prestashop to ERPnext
2. Now, sync all products from Prestashop to ERPnext (If there is any product in ERPnext End with Same SKU as Prestashop then also there will be no duplicity. But in the case of Multi Variant Product, the module will also check the combination(attributes) of the products of both ends. If both combinations are same then it will map the same product.)

• All the related customers, products, currency, delivery methods, payment methods and taxes will be automatically synced with the synchronization of the respective orders. 

1. To make the process faster, you need to synchronize order-related data before order synchronization
2. In case, there are same payment methods, delivery methods and taxes at both ends then you need to map them manually before order synchronization. In case, it is not followed then ERPnext throws an error.

If you are managing your data at both ends then follow below-mentioned steps:

1. Firstly, you can synchronize all the attribute from Prestashop to ERPnext; after that, you can synchronize all attributes from ERPnext to Prestashop.
2. You can synchronize all the categories from Prestashop to ERPnext as well as vice versa
3. You can synchronize all products from ERPnext to Prestashop; it will map the products with the same SKU at both ends along with the synchronization. Hence, it will not create duplicity if products have the same SKU.
4. Combination of Variants should be the same at both ends for the synchronization of same configurable products to avoid duplicity
5. You can manually map taxes, payment methods, shipping methods and currency from Prestashop, if presented at both ends.

In case there are any changes in existing shipping as well as billing address which are already mapped then it will not be updated at ERPnext end.
